Circuit Clerk's Office Child Support Division Administrative Clerk Fees

ANNUAL FEE:

The Circuit Clerk's Office is required to charge an annual fee for maintaining the support records and spousal support records of all payments processed through the SDU.

The annual fee is $36.00 per year which is set by state statute 705 ILCS 105/27.1b(k)(2). You are able to make the annual fee using a credit card, via Court Payments Online via the Courtmoney link. Each year we send out reminder notices to the last known address of each payor. The reminder notice is for the preceding year. Example: notices sent the beginning of 2004 were for clerks fees for 2003. It is very important to keep our office notified of your current address, so the reminder card goes to the appropriate address.

The Circuit Clerk's Office maintains the records and the State Disbursement Unit processes the payments.

The records maintained by our office could be used to produce proof of payments for court or tax purposes.

If you have questions regarding the fees or for requesting a report or information, please contact our office by phone at (309) 558-3538 or by e-mail  .
